ABSTRACT
Development of durable resistance effective against a broad range of pathotypes is crucial for restoration of pathogen-damaged ecosystems. This study dissected the complex genetic architecture for limber pine quantitative disease resistance (QDR) to Cronartium ribicola using a genome-wide association study. Eighteen-month-old seedlings were inoculated for resistance screening under controlled conditions. Disease development was quantitatively assessed for QDR-related traits over 4 years postinoculation. To reveal the genomic architecture contributing to QDR-related traits, a set of genes related to disease resistance with genome-wide distribution was selected for targeted sequencing for genotyping of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The genome-wide association study revealed a set of SNPs significantly associated with quantitative traits for limber pine QDR to white pine blister rust, including number of needle spots and stem cankers, as well as survival 4 years postinoculation. The peaks of marker-trait associations displayed a polygenic pattern, with genomic regions as potential resistant quantitative trait loci, distributed over 10 of the 12 linkage groups (LGs) of Pinus. None of them was linked to the Cr4-controlled major gene resistance previously mapped on LG08. Both normal canker and bole infection were mapped on LG05, and the associated SNPs explained their phenotypic variance up to 52%, tagging a major resistant quantitative trait locus. Candidate genes containing phenotypically associated SNPs encoded putative nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat proteins, leucine-rich repeat-receptor-like kinase, cytochrome P450 superfamily protein, heat shock cognate protein 70, glutamate receptor, RNA-binding family protein, and unknown protein. The confirmation of resistant quantitative trait loci broadens the genetic pool of limber pine resistance germplasm for resistance breeding.
